Definitions

  • the present invention relates to blade and hub connection in a wind turbine rotor. More particularly this invention relates to a rotor for a wind turbine in which said blade and hub are connected as defined in the preamble of claim 1. This invention further relates to a wind turbine as defined in the preamble of claim 5.
  • Rotors in wind turbines are formed with parts that are exposed in operation to strong centrifugal forces, rotational forces as well as other forces such as gravity and those arising from the action of the wind on the blades.
  • the hub and the blades connected thereto are exposed to strong forces and therefore they become severely stressed, especially when in use. Strong forces involved in wind turbine rotors are a serious problem which in most cases give rise to fatigue failure of the attaching means used for blade and hub connection.
  • the parts in a wind turbine rotor, and particularly the blade hub connection must be therefore of heavy construction. This results in undesirably heavy, large, and expensive parts.
  • wind turbine blades are releasably attached, through their respective blade root portions, to the rotor hub through the use of attaching means.
  • the attaching means comprise a plurality of bushings and corresponding studs arranged in a portion of the hub and in a portion of the blade root. Studs are threadably received into the bushings for releasable connection of the blades to the hub.
  • Fatigue failure of studs in wind turbine applications is known, specifically of their securing ends. Such failure is known to be caused by bending stresses (radial forces) and tensile stresses (longitudinal or axial forces) acting on the blade and hub connection.
  • the ends of the bushings with spherical bearings as disclosed in US4773824 .
  • the rotor of the wind turbine shown in this document comprises a rotatable hub carrying a number of blades and attaching means for blade connection to the hub.
  • the attaching means comprise connecting rods having threaded opposite ends screwed into corresponding ends of the bushings. Between the connecting rod and the bushing a space is defined.
  • the ends of the bushings have respective cup bearings having spherical faces in order to absorb centrifugal forces of the blades.
  • US2007065288 discloses a releasable attachment of a wind turbine blade portion to a wind turbine hub by means of bushings embedded into the blade portion.
  • the internal thread of the bushings may extend over the entire length or at least one portion of the bushing has no thread. Therefore, the stud introduced into the bushing and engaged in the thread may be put under tension.
  • the blade portion can be connected to the hub independent of the cyclic loads acting on the blade, it however does not face the problem of how to efficiently absorbing the centrifugal forces of the blades on the hub, particularly critical bending stresses resulting from said forces acting on the blade and hub connection.
  • the bushing thread is substantially as long as the stud thread or in some cases shorter.
  • Bushing and stud thread lengths are substantially the same such that a rigid bushing - stud connection is created. Therefore the studs are retained against any bending and axial directions.
  • a bending direction stands for any direction where studs can be bent or flexed, such as a radial direction, a tangential direction, and the like, relative to the axis of the stud.
  • an axial direction stands for a direction substantially along the axis of the stud.
  • Such attaching means provide for a good stiffness for the tensile stresses.
  • theses attaching means do not provide for an efficient bending stress accommodation. This is a serious drawback in situations in which bending stresses are higher than tensile stresses and especially when such bending stresses are applied at different times due to the high speed gusts of wind combined with rotation of the blades themselves resulting in fatigue damage.
  • the invention provides a non-rigid coupling for some parts of a wind turbine rotor, particularly for a blade portion and a hub portion in a wind turbine rotor.
  • a non-rigid coupling for some parts of a wind turbine rotor, particularly for a blade portion and a hub portion in a wind turbine rotor.
  • a typical wind turbine rotor comprises a rotatable hub, one or more pairs of blades arranged about the hub and attaching means for releasably attaching or connecting a portion (e.g. an end portion) of a blade a portion of the hub in the wind turbine.
  • a portion of a blade is to be understood as any portion of the blade, such as an end portion of the blade, including the blade root.
  • a portion of the blade may even also refer to a blade root extender if it is provided.
  • a blade root extender is usually coupled to the blade root and to the hub and it is used to increase the rotor diameter of the wind turbine for higher power production.
  • the above mentioned attaching means comprises a number of bushings.
  • Bushings are hollow pieces, usually made of metal such as steel, that are embedded in the end surface of blade root.
  • Bushings are adapted, i.e. sized and shaped, for receiving corresponding studs to be secured therein.
  • Studs are pieces that are also made of metal such as steel. In general, the material of the bushing has the same mechanical strength than that of the stud.
  • Studs can be, for example, bars at least one end of which is externally threaded such that it can be screwed into one internally threaded end of the corresponding bushing.
  • the studs are usually securely fixed a hub portion such as through screw means or the like.
  • attaching means are conceivable such as for example those in which the studs are embedded in the end surface of the blade root and the bushings are embedded in a hub portion of the wind turbine rotor.
  • At least some of the bushings are provided with at least one securing end that is adapted for providing the stud a degree of rotation relative to the bushing into which it is secured.
  • a degree of rotation should be interpreted as angular displacement of the order of a fraction of a degree.
  • This degree of rotation that the stud is allowed to perform under bending stress results in a non-rigid coupling of the blade portion to the hub portion that is capable of efficiently accommodating high centrifugal forces acting on the hub and therefore at least reducing damages to the wind turbine rotor and more particularly to the blades - hub bolted joint.
  • the at least one securing end of the bushing may comprise an inner receiving member.
  • This inner receiving member is suitably adapted for receiving a corresponding end of the stud.
  • the inner receiving member is provided inside the bushing and it can be integrally formed with the bushing.
  • the inner receiving member may be provided with a through hole having an inner thread adapted for threadably receiving a corresponding threaded end of the stud.
  • the inner receiving member may be for example a nut member.
  • This nut member may be suitably adapted for being rotated inside the bushing, that is, it can be angularly moved around an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bushing. Therefore, when the stud is screwed into the corresponding bushing, the nut member and stud assembly is allowed to be slightly rotated around said axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bushing. The slight angular movement of the nut member and stud assembly relative to the bushing results in an efficient bending stress absorption by the attaching means.
  • a length of the securing end of the bushing may be provided with an internal thread for threadably receiving an external thread formed in a length of the corresponding stud. It is preferred that the bushing thread length is larger than the stud thread length. This reduces stress concentration on the threads while providing a good axial strength. This contrasts with prior art blade hub connections in which the bushing thread length is shorter than the stud thread length.
  • the bushing thread length is larger than or equal to 0.8 times the metric thread diameter of the stud and shorter than 2 times the metric thread diameter of the stud.
  • This ratio of the bushing metric thread length to the stud metric thread diameter is an optimum ratio that provides the lowest stud restrain.
  • the bushing thread is larger than or equal to 0.8 times the metric thread diameter of the stud and shorter than 1.5 times the metric thread diameter of the stud.
  • a common bushing-stud thread length can be defined as the contact length of the threads both of the bushing and the stud screwed thereon. Said common thread length depends on the material of both the blade portion and the hub portion.
  • the internal thread of the bushing may be entirely surrounded by the external thread of the stud when the stud is operatively fitted into the hub and more particularly the external thread of the stud is centred lengthwise to the internal thread of the bushing when the stud is operatively fitted into the hub.
  • the common thread length is larger than or equal to 0.8 times the metric thread diameter of the stud and shorter than 2 times the metric thread diameter of the stud. This contrasts again with prior art bushing and stud connections where the common thread length, the bushing thread length and the stud thread length are substantially the same.
  • Non-rigid coupling has been proven to be very effective in accommodating the high centrifugal forces of the blades on the hub, particularly the bending stresses resulting from said forces. This non-rigid solution helps to significantly reduce fatigue from bending stress even in cases where damage caused by bending stress can reach up to 80% of the total fatigue damage.
  • a wind turbine comprising a nacelle supported by a tower, and a rotor having a rotatable hub, at least one pair of blades arranged about said hub and attaching means for attaching a portion of the blades to a portion of the hub as described above.
  • Rotor 400 mainly comprises a rotatable hub 410 carrying a number of blades 420. In the particular embodiment in figure 8 , the rotor has three blades 420 attached to the hub 410.
  • blade portion 425 may be any portion of the blade 420 in the wind turbine rotor 400.
  • blade portion 425 may be any end portion of the blade 420 such as the blade root as shown in the examples of the figures.
  • Blade portion 425 may also refer to any element associated with the blade 420 such as a blade extender. Blade extenders are usually coupled to blade roots to increase blade diameter. Blade portion 425 may even also refer to a track, e.g.
  • hub portion 415 may refer, within the meaning of the present invention, to any portion of the hub 410 as well as any element associated with the hub 410 such as a corresponding track, e.g. an outer track, in said bearing 500 in the blade - hub connecting portion.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates one example of prior art attaching means 100.
  • the attaching means 100 in figure 1 comprise a number of bushings 200 (only one shown in figures 1-5 ).
  • Bushings 200 are metal elongated bodies that are arranged along the surface of the blade portion 425 as shown in figures 6 and 7 . More particularly, the bushings 200 are embedded in between a number of layers in the laminate of the blade portion 425 as the blade 420 is usually made of fibre reinforced composites.
  • Bushings 200 have a hollow interior 210 at least one end of which is provided with an inner bushing thread having a determined length Lb.
  • the bushing hollow interior 210 is adapted for receiving a corresponding threaded bolt or stud 300.
  • Studs 300 are metal elongated pieces having at least one end 310 with an outer stud thread having a determined length Ls as shown in figures 1 and 2 of the drawings.
  • metal bushings 200 and studs 300 are used in the disclosed embodiments, non-metallic bushings e.g. made of high-strength polymers or polymer composites, could be of course used as required. Even in some embodiments, both metallic and non-metallic bushings 200 and studs 300 could be used.
  • the studs 300 are screwed into the corresponding bushings 200 that are provided in the blade portion 425. Under no significant bending stresses, studs 300 are arranged substantially coaxial with bushings 200, that is, with their corresponding longitudinal axes x substantially matching each other.
  • the prior art rigid solution for the attaching means 100 in the blade - hub connection comprises said bushing and stud arrangement in which the bushing thread length Lb and the stud thread length Ls are substantially the same (see figure 1 ).
  • the attaching means 100 have substantially the same structural configuration with the provision of bushings 200 (only one shown).
  • Bushings 200 are elongated hollow pieces made of metal such as steel and bonded in the end surface of the blade portion 425 such as the blade root in a blade 410 of the wind turbine rotor 400.
  • Bushings 200 each have a hollow interior 210 with an inner bushing thread with a determined length Lb.
  • the bushing hollow interior 210 in the embodiment shown in figure 2 is also adapted for receiving a corresponding stud 300 to be secured therein.
  • Studs 300 are elongated pieces bonded in one portion 425 of the hub 420. Studs 300 have at least one end 310 with an outer stud thread having a determined length Ls. Studs 300 may be made of metal and in general the material of the bushing 200 may have the same strength than that of the stud 300.
  • the embodiment of the attaching means 100 provides a bushing - stud arrangement in which the bushing thread length Lb is different than the stud thread length Ls. More particularly, the bushing thread length Lb is larger than the stud thread length Ls as shown in said figure 2 of the drawings.
  • the bushing thread length Lb is substantially larger than or equal to 0.8 times the stud metric thread diameter ds and shorter than 1.5 times the stud metric thread diameter ds.
  • the above range [0.8 ds ⁇ Lb ⁇ 1.5 ds] for the bushing thread length Lb is an optimum ratio for both an efficient axial strength and good bending stress absorption. In some cases, the bushing thread length Lb could be up to 2 times the stud metric thread diameter ds.
  • the common bushing-stud thread length is the contact length of the threads both of the bushing 200 and the stud 300 screwed thereon. As shown in figure 2 , the stud thread length Ls (and in some cases the bushing thread length Lb too) is shorter than those of the prior art attaching means 100 shown in figure 1 . Therefore, the common bushing-stud thread length in the embodiment shown in figure 2 is also shorter than that of the prior art attaching means 100 shown in figure 1 .
  • the bushings 200 have at least one securing end 250 that is suitable for providing the stud 300 a certain degree of rotation relative to the bushing 200 into which it is secured.
  • the fact that the stud 300 can be slightly angularly moved inside the bushing and relative thereto results in a non-rigid coupling of the blade portion 425 to the hub portion 415.
  • Such non-rigid attaching means 100 are advantageously capable of accommodating high centrifugal forces acting on the hub 410 of the wind turbine rotor 400.
  • the securing end 250 of the bushing 200 is provided with an inner receiving member.
  • the inner receiving member in the embodiment shown in the figures 3 and 4 of the drawings is a nut member 260.
  • the nut member 260 has a threaded hole adapted for threadably receiving a corresponding threaded end 310 of the stud 300.
  • the nut member 260 is fitted in an enlarged portion 220 formed in the hollow interior 210 of the bushing 200 as shown in figure 4 .
  • the enlarged portion 220 is shaped such as the nut member 260 fitted therein can not be displaced along the longitudinal axis x of the bushing 200.
  • the stud 300 that is screwed into the nut member 260 through the threaded end 310 is not allowed to be displaced axially.
  • the nut member 260 can only be slightly rotated inside the bushing 200 and relative thereto. Rotational movement of the nut member 260 and hence the stud 300 screwed therein is limited by the inner walls of the bushing 200. A radial displacement of the order of a few millimetres is therefore only allowed. Due to the radial tolerance or gap resulting from the diameter differences between the outer surface of the stud 300 and the inner surface of the bushing 200, a hinged connection resulting in a non-rigid coupling is advantageously provided through which bending stresses, i.e. radial stresses, can be efficiently accommodated, especially during wind turbine operation.
  • the nut member 260 is allowed to be slightly rotated, together with the stud 300 screwed therein through its threaded end 310, around an axis y that is substantially perpendicular to the drawing and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis x of the bushing 200, as shown in figures 3 and 4 .
  • the outer portion of the nut member 260 is spherical with the purpose of facilitating its radial movement inside the bushing 200.
  • spring means are provided in the securing end 250 of the bushing 200.
  • the spring means comprise an elastomer element 270.
  • the elastomer element 270 is fitted between the exterior of the nut member 260 and at least one length of the inner walls of the enlarged portion 220 in the hollow interior 210 of the bushing 200.
  • the elastomer element 270 biases the nut member 260 as it is rotated with the stud 300 relative to the bushing 200.
  • Figure 5 shows a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the bushing 200 is also adapted for providing the stud 300 with a certain degree of rotation around axis y.
  • the inner walls of the bushing 200 extend in the region of securing end 250 into respective thinner wall portions 280 which are somewhat flexible.
  • the thinner wall portions 280 extend in turn inwards inside the bushing 200 to form the inner nut member 260.
  • the inner nut member 260 is integral with the bushing 200 and it is provided with a threaded hole 290 for receiving a corresponding threaded end 310 of the stud 300.
  • the nut member 260 is capable of being slightly rotated with the stud 300 screwed therein around axis y into the hollow interior 210 of the bushing 200.
  • the inner nut member 260 is formed integrally with the bushing 200, the stud 300 that is screwed into the nut member 260 is not allowed to be displaced axially, i. e. along axis x. Rotational movement of the nut member 260 and the stud 300 screwed therein around axis y is limited by the inner walls of the bushing 200. Therefore, a radial displacement of the order of a few millimetres is only allowed as in the other embodiments.
  • bushings 200 are shown arranged in a portion 425 of the blade and studs 300 are shown arranged in a portion 415 of the hub 410.
  • the bushings 200 arranged in the hub portion 415 and the studs 300 arranged in the blade portion 425 if required.
